OpenGL on Mali GPU (BananaPi, OrangePi PC, etc)
Hello,
I wish to share my research on getting OpenGL to work on Mali GPU. I realize Armbian focuses on server images, but I suppose many people would be interested nevertheless. I have a Banana Pi Pro and an Orange Pi PC, which both have a compatible GPU. Perhaps it will work on other boards as well.
Here are the commands I used to get OpenGL to work.
1. Install:
# install GLX Gears, mesa GL and GLU libraries
apt-get -y install mesa-utils
# install development tools
apt-get -y in
Two questions:
1) How differs that from using any recent desktop Armbian image for A20 or H3 devices (we try to do all of the above already as part of our desktop installation routine and it 'should just work' since 5.05)? I really have a hard time to see threads like this popping up every few weeks explaining in detail time consuming compilation processes for stuff that should already work out of the box with desktop Armbian images for those 2 platforms. Please explain
2) Are we talking
